System complete Options

[FreddyTheOthaMea...]

Ok so I finally bought my system, everythings installed (I should have pictures in by sunday). So here's everything:

Head unit: Kenwood eXcelon KDC-X579
Speakers: Pair of 6" Infinity reference component speakers
Amp: 600 watt Rockford Fosgate Amp
Subs: 1 10" Kicker Comp CVR in a bandpass enclosure

My question is, with this setup does anyone think I could compete very successfully in car audio comps?

Any suggestions/comments would be greatly appreciated.

is the amp going just to the kicker or is it a 3 way?

I don't think you could compete very well with this setup; but I dont compete with mine so I really can't say anything- it all depends on what else is around in your town.

Can't wait for pictures- did you do the install yourself?

wow.....with one 10 cvr


nope

simple as that

Not sure how it works around there but whenever we have car audio competitions here it's based on the total wattage of your system more than just who has the biggest and baddest. If that's the case you could always try your hand at it.

eh, you wont be winning any comps with that setup. especially in a bandpass box, the bass will sound horrible. whats the RMS on that amp? if it is 600rms, then get another CompVR, and put them in a sealed box. it wont be too loud but it will be a little louder, and alot cleaner. with that setup you have now, id only say you would get in the mid 120's or low 130db's with that.

that is far from complete

i have 4 15s

[Scarrell]

i have one 15? (soo.....?)

[Gilbert_619]

4 15s" 2 10s" 4 8"s and 4 6.5"s

[Scarrell]

ok? how does that make it complete? if you have everything you want then its complete. but if that is complete to him then well. its complete

[Andason]

my car plays everything from 20-20,000 hz. that is everything the human ear can hear. can your "complete" system play 20 hz? 20,000? doubt it.

[shid]

Oh shush Shawn

btw, the human air can SOMETIMES go above 20,000khz

[rocky2006]

dude, even pieces of **** can play 20hz-20khz (subs for lows and components or coaxials for highs). that doesnt make it good. what makes it good is the sound quality. i hate it when people try to say their systems are so good when they can play this frequency or get this loud. the point of a good system is to have it sound good.

is 175 db good?

[rocky2006]

good for what? db has nothing to do with sound quality which is what a sound system is for. btw, you didnt hit 175db. this guy had 5 -9900 DD 15" powered by 20 amps with over 20,000 watts rms total and only hit 175.9db.

yup, 175db is loud, but there no way in hell youve hit it. his setup was purely for loudness and guaranteed it sounded like ****.

well it was off of the windshield so maybe that has a difference?
174.9

[rocky2006]

it must make a difference. btw, im not dissing you or anything saying you have a bad system or anything (probly better than mine), i just think that a car audio system should sound good and not be based on loudness alone.

[eclipse_04a]

and that difference being people liking SQ, and people liking SPL.... in my opinion, if you can compete very well at both, then you have a system to be admired.

[Scarrell]

ok you say you hit....what was it (scrolls down) 175? correct. well why dont you show your sheet? i can hit 175 with four 15" Wal Mart subs in the right box and setup. woop-dee-doo. who cares if his system isnt "man my system is so loud i cant even see straight" "dude watch, my remote jumps all over"......what matters is what he likes, and if he likes his setup then that is all that matters. my single 15" will not hit anywhere near 175, but it will satisfy me. also your car can play that? well arent you special, do you want a sucker? and as Rocky said, if your stereo is that loud, it does not have a bit of soundquality. why dont you learn a thing or two, hell probably more than 3 before you should even talk about car audio. go to Crutchfield and read, maybe then you can talk with the big boys.

"is 175 db good?"

it was a joke retard. i know 175 is good. when im at home next ill take a picture of the slip and make your stupid ass eat your own words. dont come in here talking smack to me n00b. you cant hit 175 with four walmart subs. if you were a "big boy" you'd know that. i have all professional equipment. "dude, ive won so many trophies!" "dude, all my stuff has been paid for and paid for again because of what i've won" do you even own a celica? are you even over the age of 15? last i checked the "big boys" weren't shopping in crutchfield. that is all garbage. i know more about car audio then you will ever know.
